WOMEN who prefer sex with men blessed with a longer penis are more likely to have orgasms, according to a study.

The research, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, has found that women who prefer longer penises are more likely to have vaginal orgasms, but not clitoral orgasms.

Publishing the findings, researchers wrote: “Research indicates that women's orgasm during penile–vaginal intercourse is influenced by fitness-related male partner characteristics, penis size is important for many women, and preference for a longer penis is associated with greater vaginal orgasm consistency.”

Women who prefer deeper penile–vaginal stimulation are more likely to have vaginal orgasm

Researchers asked women to report on how much sex they were having, what type of sex and the effects of a longer than average penis on the likelihood of orgasm during penile–vaginal intercourse.

They found that the likelihood of vaginal orgasms with a longer penis was increased - but not other types of orgasm.

In the conclusions, the scientists wrote: “Women who prefer deeper penile–vaginal stimulation are more likely to have vaginal orgasm, consistent with vaginal orgasm evolving as part of a female mate choice system favouring somewhat larger than average penises.”

Interesting facts about the penis including average penis size, erections, sensitivity and sexual pleasure

A study from a team of scientists in the US have found that a combination of three particular moves will dramatically increase the likelihood of a woman reaching orgasm with a sexual partner.

Women are most likely to have a 'yes yes yes' moment if their partner engages in deep kissing, genital stimulation and oral sex.

Published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, a team of US researchers analysed data collected through an online survey, hosted on the NBC News website, based on responses from more than 52,000 participants aged between 18 and 65 who were in a relationship with one person.

David Frederick, lead author of the research from Chapman University, said: "We had the rare opportunity to look at responses from over 50,000 people, including over 2,000 gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women."

Men with a longer penis are more likely to give a woman a vaginal orgasm

Whilst 95 per cent of heterosexual men responded they usually or always orgasmed during sexually intimate moments, only 65 per cent of heterosexual women did.

Co-author of the research Elisabeth Lloyd, a professor of biology at Indiana University and author of The Case of the Female Orgasm, continued: "About 30 per cent of men actually think that intercourse is the best way for women to have orgasm, and that is sort of a tragic figure because it couldn’t be more incorrect.

"To say that there needs to be some education I think is an understatement."

According to the research, only 35 per cent of heterosexual women always or usually orgasm during vaginal sex alone, with 44 per cent saying they rarely or never did.
